Producer history Real Companhia Velha
Founded in 1756 as Companhia Geral da Agricultura das Vinhas do Alto Douro on the initiative of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo (Marquês de Pombal), Real Companhia Velha played a historic role in the regulation and development of Douro viticulture. Over the centuries it underwent reforms, periods of state intervention and subsequent relaunches; documented events include the registration of the Fundador brand in 1928, the acquisition of Quinta das Carvalhas (1950s) and the integration of several historic labels (including Delaforce in 2008). The company has celebrated more than 250 years of continuous activity dedicated to Port wine and Douro wines.
